I think everyone on this NG would fight to the death to
uphold youre right to say what you think, but they may
not agree with it. How can a meeting of minds begin to
exist if we are not to be allowed to disagree with each
other. If you want to have everything you say agreed with
then I would suggest you seek a diferent forum, but that
will not result in constructive debate, it will only
result in the sort of bullshitting that makes people that
are not as good as they think, believe they are better
than they are while denying them the opportunity to be as
good as they could be. Ive baffled myself with that one! I
think what I mean is if you look at youre abilities and
attainments with a true eye, then you will usually find
room for improvement, but if someone tells you you are
perfect then there is no more to be gained so you stop
before achieving youre best possible. We are obviously
hardline against the handgun ban, try to convince us it was
right and not a politically motivated scapegoating of the
most law abiding sector of society that had done nothing to
deserve the "media" hate campaign that followed Dunblane. One
small point that gets right up the nose of the "amateur"
shooter is the police making reference to themselves as "the
professionals", this suggests that we are in some way inferior,
just a percieved perception but nonetheless derogatory. Us
"amateurs" have a far better safety record and I would suggest
are far more knowledgeable about firearms than those that
profess to be the "professionals". I am making a conscious
effort to stop refering to the police as plod, there, we
have progress!! I do slip up sometimes but as I said evaluate
with a true eye and there is always room for improvement.
